Senate Taxes chair wants to hear Vikings stadium plan
Posted by: Mike Kaszuba under Funding, Minnesota legislature, Minnesota state senators, State budgets Updated: April 25, 2012 - 9:01 AM
In a potential stumbling block for a new Minnesota Vikings stadium, the chair of the Senate Taxes Committee has asked that the panel review the project.
Sen. Julianne Ortman, R-Chanhassen, the chair of the panel, said the plan for the $1 billion project “contains provisions that require the consideration of the Senate Tax[es] Committee.” She asked that the panel debate the Vikings stadium plan following its hearing Wednesday morning before the Senate Finance Committee.
The public subsidy package for the stadium has been rolling towards approval this week at the state Capitol, but the Senate Taxes Committee – containing several high-profile stadium opponents – could give the project its toughest political test.
